Great article. I especially like the term "Jim Snow" to describe our current system of racial apartheid. I've personally been on the bad side of these "Jim Snow" laws, and I would very much like to see them brought to an end. I'm tired of knowing for a fact that I cannot apply for a government job, because I will have so many strikes applied against me because of my race and gender that I would never qualify for the job, even if I scored %100 on every exam and test given. If that isn't racism I don't know what is, and I for one am tired of living in a racist society filled with "Jim Snow" laws.

I glad you liked the article. Actually, there aren't any Jim Snow laws, as opposed to illegal Jim Snow practices, which are forbidden by the 14th Amendment, the 1964 U.S. Civil Rights Act, and in many, if not all states, by state laws, as well.
